Summary

Prevention...let's talk about that for a second.

Prevention is more than just a magazine. In fact, it's actually an entire field of medicine, training line, and fellowships.

It's also the foundation and pillar of primary care. This is why we're going to be focusing on the USPSTF and the most recent recommendations over the last couple years, to give you updates on some grade A and grade B recommendations you need to know in practice.

So, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Dr. Niket Sonpal your friendly neighborhood podcast host. Let's jump right in!

Our goal at Medgeeks is to help you live the life you want to live as you navigate a career in medicine.

This looks different to everyone, which is why we take such a personalized approach.

Whether you want to ...

Stop taking your work home
Have the skillset to work autonomously
Improve your work life balance

...or anything in between, we can definitely help.

We've worked with thousands of physician assistants and nurse practitioners working in Primary Care since 2013 and we're confident we can help take your career and life to the next level. If you're working in primary care, you can learn more about our mentorship opportunities here:
